Charlie Chaplin Clip Contains Footage of "Time Traveler"? [Randomly Viral]

Here's something spooky just in time for Halloween: a YouTube video created by Irish filmmaker George Clarke has gone viral this week, as it purports to show a cellphone-toting "time traveler" attending the 1928 premiere of Charlie Chaplin's The Circus.

Take a look at the video above to hear Clarke wax philosophical about the clip -- and to see it replayed over and over and over again -- which comes from a DVD extra from the film and shows a woman ambling by Grauman's Chinese Theatre, hand to ear, chattering away.

For some reason, Clarke seems convinced that the figure is a man. Maybe he knows something we don't about the predilection of different genders for time travel?
